This examples shows the use of columns.defaultContent to create a button element in the last column of the table. A simple jQuery
click event listener is used to watch for clicks on the row, and when activated uses the row().data() method to get the data for the row and
show a bit of information about it in an alert box. This is a simple use case, but it can be built up to be arbitrarily complex.

Note also that the columns.data option for the column has been set to null to indicate that the column has no
information that should be obtained data source object.
